Featuring a private bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer, certain rooms at the hostel also offer a mountain view. At Catba Buffalo Hostel each room comes with air conditioning and a safety deposit box. Perfect balance between social hostel and a chill stay. Probably one of the best room we had during our SE Asia trip for a very cheap price. They have different activities every night (barbecue, live music). They also have a pub crawl every night to go downtown because the hostel is a bit outside of the city. Very nice common area with chickens running around. Food was delicious (but a bit pricy depending on what you get). Free buffet breakfast was the best we’ve had. The staff was really nice and helped us book a bus to our next destination. Motorbike rental next to the hostel. They have a pool and a billiard table.

Set within 2.4 km of Bai Chay Beach, BBQ Hostel Ha Long 2 in Ha Long features a number of amenities including a shared lounge, a terrace and a restaurant. Featuring a garden, the 3-star hostel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, room service and currency exchange for guests. I came to Ha Long after the century storm Yagi. Everything was almost destroyed. Even though the people here are concentrating on fixing it with high intensity, they are still very welcoming, open-minded, and I even had some interesting experiences here. The hostel was heavily damaged but what I saw was that my room was really clean, fragrant. They had super cool AC. Sadly, the swimming pool was being repaired so I couldn't experience it yet. But next time coming back here, I will definitely try. Highly recommend for everyone, anyone especially travelers.

So if you're late checking in you might consider other options. But the room, the breakfast and all other staff was quite good. The administrator helped me a lot, he was very friendly and kind.
